Golden Globe Predictions

Today are the Golden Globe Awards. Normally, I'm excited about these, but the second I heard The Tourist was nominated for Best Comedy/Musical I knew we were in for trouble.

  1. Okay, so can someone explain to me why The Tourist is even IN the running here? I mean it wasn't TERRIBLE, but it wasn't that great either. I thought it was pretty forgettable. I don't see how it was any better than the tons of other crime thrillers. And it definitely wasn't a comedy or musical.

  2. The GGs are more of a party - usually the winners are respectable, but there are often nominees meant solely to get big guests to attend which equals higher ratings on broadcast night. This time however, with The Tourist, was a stretch even for their terms.
